Quotation: To prepare for their performance in the jump event at the all-star tournament, Thees said the women are trying to improve their jump distances by practicing more challenging jump maneuvers. When the boat pulls a skier toward the jump ramp at an angle, a technique called “cutting,” Thees said the skiers gain more momentum, which allows them to nearly double their jump distance.
